French Classique

 Back in the mid 1970's, if you couldn't afford a Yamaha FS1E, then this (or a Puch Maxi ) were the transport of choice for a budding 16 year old wanting to get mobile.

 Forty-nine cc's and mandatory pedals to give some sort of notional hint that it was a bicycle, no ears just a centrifugal clutch, twist the throttle and off you went. Cheap enough to go to school on.

An enterprising bicycle shop had these for rent and leisurely tours around the local hills and mountains, not sure how they would get on with some of the steeper inclines, maybe that's where the pedals come in handy?
